He Rose to the Occasion.

The greatest argument against kings
is that when the king hasn't got his
crown and his insignia YOU can't tell
him from anybody else, and if you put
a millionaire behind bar, even by ac-
cident, people will como ia and demand
cocktails of him, and probably tell him
to hurry up, rs thirsty people who want
to get along to the next saloon usually
do. But l have never heard of any
such mistake SO neatly turned as at a
big party few weeks ago. A foreign
gentleman, while engaged in foraging
for plato for lady he had taken in to
supper, came on II man with plate in
his hand, looking ut it in an aimlcss
way. He thought he was n lazy waiter.
Give me that plate, please"
Tho austere figure turned and gaZed
upon him silently.
'Give me that plate, waiter
There was no sign. 1t began to dawn
upon the guest that he was mistaken
and finally he recognized in the figure
u we'll known millionaire, who was APP
parently bent on the same GRAND. Any
plain American would have tainted.
The foreign gentleman was equal to the
OCCASION.
Pardon me, sir. did not recog-
nizc you, and we arc both dressed so
like the walters that the mistake might
have rs easily been yours rs mine. "

Lady Notions on Male Beauty.

Handsome women are subjects for
critical Judgment. especially when they
appear OH the stage, writes New York
correspondent of the st. Louis Gtob e.
Democrat, but did it ever occur to you
that the professional beauties might
have views of masculine beauty as they
see it from their side Of tho footlights?
On thinking of it recently ut once set
out in hanson to do II bit of in
terviewing. My first call was on Fanny
Davenport, and | put the question
plumply to her:
WHO is tho handsomest man you
have ever seen in one of your audi
enccsp"
Ned Price, she promptly replied,
''But he is your husband"

fact"
Mr.. Price is wcll-buIt chap, aged
81, should guess. aud his face is in
deed very bright and admirable. In at
tire he is something of n beau.
Next, went To Nine. Modjeska with
my query. She, too. was inclined to
band, but l told her that had taken
that kind ofreply once and for all. Then
she said:
''Well, the handsomcst auditor can
remember was Mr.. Nicholas Smith, the
husband of one of Horace Greeley's
daughters. He used to go to the thea
ter good deal, and usually sat in a
box, where lie was conspicuous to me,
of course. He was big. lion-likc man,
with positively beautiful. yet manly
face. Yes, think Mr.. Smith is the
handsomest man ever saw across the
footlights."

Miss Eastlake, gave the palm of her
highest admiration to Lester Wallack.

ing it with the charge that he was a
theatrical manager and was advanta-

box, but she declared that she rendered
it judiciously. Wallack Is now white

A CHANCE FOR HEALTH

Is afforded those fast sinking into condi
tion of hopeless debility. The means are
at hand. In the form OF genial medci
nal cordial, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
embodics the combined qualities of blood
fertilizer and depurent, tonic and an al
tcrative. While it promotes digestion and
assimilation. and stimulates appetite, has
tho further effect Of purifying the life
current and strengthening the nervous sys-
tenn. AS the blood grows richer and purer
by its use, they resort TO this sterling
medicinal agent, acquire not only vigor,
but bodily substance. A healthful change
in the secrctions is effected by 1t, and that
sure and rapid physical decay, which a
chronic obstruction of the functions Of the
system produce is arrested. The prime
causes OF disease being removed, health
is speedily renovated and vigor restored.
